Understanding Hip Pain
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint where the femoral head (ball) fits into the acetabulum (socket). Hip pain can arise from the joint itself or from surrounding structures — muscles, tendons, bursae, or nerves. Pain may be felt in the groin (classic hip), outer hip (greater trochanteric), buttock, or even referred down to the thigh and knee.
Common Causes of Hip Pain
- •Hip osteoarthritis — the most common cause in adults over 50
- •Avascular necrosis (AVN) — loss of blood supply to the femoral head
- •Hip fractures — particularly in older adults with osteoporosis
- •Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (bursitis and tendinopathy)
- •Hip impingement (FAI) — abnormal contact between the ball and socket
- •Labral tears — damage to the cartilage ring surrounding the hip socket
- •Rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory conditions
- •Referred pain from the lumbar spine
- •Muscle strains and tendon injuries
- •Developmental dysplasia of the hip
Symptoms of Hip Problems
- ⚠Groin pain that may radiate to the thigh or buttock
- ⚠Pain worse with weight-bearing, walking, or climbing stairs
- ⚠Difficulty putting on shoes and socks (restricted hip rotation)

Diagnosing Hip Pain
A thorough history and physical examination — including gait analysis and specific hip tests — guides appropriate investigations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Surgery is considered when the diagnosis shows a problem that can benefit from an operation and symptoms remain significant despite appropriate non-surgical care, or when the condition itself requires earlier surgery. The decision depends on examination, imaging, overall health and the patient’s goals.
